Hi folks, today i happened to invest in the learning curve. Got this WD for fooling around.Attached is the ROM.Many new ROYL modulestried to use standard dfl technique of making changes in module 30 of the rom...ie at 00x08 offset as 31 (which is also the module identifier i believe.)

Patched the rom back to the micronix chip using my new minipro2 plus ( )

Two copies of module 47 (and others) is not new. Each copy is referenced by a different directory, either 0B or 20B. Sometimes the inactive copy is uninitialised, ie it may contain a template or be filled with FFh.

See my attachment.

PCMBlknn_nnnnn.bin -- non-compressed sections of the ROMrevBlknn_nnnnn.bin -- compressed sections of the ROM (converted to big endian)decBlknn_nnnnn.bin -- decompressed sections of the ROM

possibly by manually setting off the regions active flag(may be not, or shifting them?) and extracting the start address from the rom and trying to read ? but wouldn't the loaders be required to read stuff...I am aware some drives dont require loaders to read the SA...just speculating at 4:02AM

thanks,That said. May be their research is going on possibly.Considering these all folks use Disassemblers and Decompilers and can do things very well at the back end to develop solutions, why do you think this drive is so left out?
